1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Basal forebrain cholinergic neurons project widely to the cerebral cortex and participate in cerebrovascular regulation. Although cholinergic axons are distributed around the cerebrovasculature, their functional relationship with arteriolar dynamics remains unclear. In this study, we established an in vivo two-photon imaging approach to simultaneously measure Ca²⁺ signals in cholinergic axonal varicosities and arteriolar diameters in urethane-anesthetized mice. An adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector (rAAV-ChAT-jGCaMP8s) was injected into the nucleus basalis of Meynert. In vivo imaging of the frontal cortex revealed bead-shaped GCaMP signals around the arterioles. Pinch stimulation transiently increased Ca²⁺ signals in periarteriolar varicosities, followed by arteriolar dilation, with an approximately 2-s delay between their peaks. Linear regression analysis disclosed a significant relationship between the magnitudes of these changes. This approach enabled simultaneous evaluation of cholinergic axonal activity and arteriolar dynamics in vivo, providing a tool to investigate the cholinergic regulation of cerebrovasculature.
